Four-PLL PC clocks offer more
flexibility
New PC clock devices support Intel's next-generation notebook and desktop PC platforms.
Building on its rapid growth in the PC clock market, IDT (Integrated Device Technology ) has released new PC clock devices that support Intel's next-generation notebook and desktop PC platforms For next generation Intel Centrino mobile technology based laptops, a new chipset (code-named "Calistoga") will be released for which IDT has released a new series of single-chip, four-PLL (phase-locked loop) PC clock devices that enable the independent control of key clock circuits within the system, resulting in greater flexibility and increased system performance

PC clock devices reduce power consumption
IDT has developed a new range of notebook PC clock devices that reduce power consumption by up to half that of previous generation products.
The IDT clocking solutions for Intel's next generation Intel 945 Express Chipset family for desktop PCs are also based on a four-PLL architecture.
Both the desktop and notebook PC clock devices offer dedicated PLLs for, CPU, PCI Express, SATA and USB clocks, which provide robust performance and reduces jitter for SRC clocks.
The devices also include built-in independent spread-spectrum control (SSC) to aid in the reduction of electromagnetic emissions (EMI).
The devices targeting the next generation of Intel Centrino mobile technology based notebooks include a power management control feature that enhances battery life.
The desktop device architecture incorporates programming that enables a linearly scalable frequency adjustment as opposed to the commonly used discrete stepping approach, providing enthusiasts the ability to fine-tune their system for better performance.
